Growing up as a young boy
Sometimes can be rough
At six years old I was thinkin'
Seven would be just enoughBut I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong, yeahTen years old and I'm growin'
Thinkin' I got it sussed
Mama said you'll be a fine young man
I thought I already wasBut I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong'Cause when you get where you're going
The road's still longEighteen years I'm a rebel
Thinkin' I'm pretty tough
Daddy said you got a lot to learn
I thought that I'd learned enoughBut I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong, yeahTwenty-five was a good time
Comin' into my own
Climbed the mountain and I reached for the sky
I thought that I had it allBut I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong'Cause when you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)When you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)They all try to tell you but who are they to say
'Cause the best things that you learn you find out on your way
No time for feelin' sorry just time for being strongWhen you get where your going
The road's still longNow I see where I come from
Now I see where I am
Now I see that you never really know
So you just gotta do the best you canThat ain't wrong
Ooh that ain't wrong no'Cause when you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)When you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)
When you get where you're going, yeah
